I have not used Kaspersky lately but I may give them a look again. I
have tried Eset Nod32 as well on Windows 7 but this was before
official compatibility was around. They are shown as compatible on
the Microsoft site now so I may also give them a go around again. I
will be looking for that stupid video lag issue. That issue is that
about every 3 minutes a small .5 second studder occurs. Took me 2
days to diagnose.
